    Green Machine smoothie
    Ingrid Y.

    We ate breakfast here twice while we stayed in Page. Great little place. Fast service, people are really friendly and happy, and the food was amazing. First morning we had the huevos rancheros and ham and Gruyère omelette. Nice twist and great flavors on the huevos rancheros. The second breakfast I got the omelette again and my husband tried the sweet potato waffles. Wow! Very sweet but best treat waffles I've had. I also took some smoothies to go. The berry one was thick and not overly sweet. The green machine had just enough mango! If you are in the area for breakfast, skip the free hotel breakfast and visit this place!

    Navajo taco and Hawaiian salmon salad
    Khim Y.

    This place a nice surprise, with offering from the Navajo Nation, the South, and a little from everywhere else! We've been growing tired of the same burger and fries on the road and craved something more healthy when daughter suggested this place. Turned out to be a true delight. The Hawaiian salmon salad is fresh and refreshing and so so yummy! We also had the crepes with steak and arugula and I loved the contrast btw the crepes and the tasty steak! I wished I had ordered the oxtail but no more room in my stomach! What a gem!

    The place is super busy. Our party waited for a long time for a table. The service was bad. We needed to ask around for the server to place an order after a long wait. When we were done, we needed to wait for the server to finish her casual talking with the guests at another table before we can get our bill. Hope the training of the servers will improve at this place. The food here is good though. Prices are reasonable too. Fried okra (3.5/5): I don't find this appetizer often at other restaurants so I want to give this a try. The batter was just right. It was still crispy when it was served. Butternut squash soup (3.5/5): The taste is a little bit bland but I like its creaminess. Chicken wings (4/5): I love the flavor and the tenderness of the chicken wings. I would like to have more after finished the dish. Oxtail entree (4/5): The portion is general really good with the price. It marinated well for the flavor of the oxtail which I like. It served with Mac & Cheese and Zucchini which I love the combination. Meat loaf entree (3/5): The taste of the meatloaf is just ok compared with the oxtail entree. I don't think I will order this again. This place is not a bad choice for food if you care less of the service. :)

    You definitely have to try their Navajo bread. It is so good! We ordered an extra side of just the bread for $3.50, and it comes on a huge plate. ​I'd probably skip the Spam fried rice, though. It's $22 a plate and the portion is okay but not shareable my 11-year-old finished the whole thing himself! If you're craving fried rice, you're better off at a Chinese spot. On the other hand, the smoked tri-tip Reuben is a winner and comes with a side of fries.

    We were here for lunch, it seems to be a very popular place, even at 11:15, it's quite a good amount of customers inside. We were seated and ordered immediately. I got the shrimp taco and he got the flatbread. It's a little wait until the food comes out, but it totally worth the wait. Everything is better than we expected, so I'm giving a full 5 stars!

    We were lucky enough to find this Gem our first morning in Page. We were coming back from a morning hike and arrived about 1030am. They serve breakfast till 11am. At 11am they switch over to lunch. The menu is large, diverse, and the food all delicious! Or server day one, left a small pot of coffee for me. The second day, the server didn't. We were in main dining room both days in a large comfy booth. They have 3 dining rooms plus a Bar-Lounge area. Next time i am here, I will get the Croque Madame again. Its Devine!! The oxtail was super flavorful, but messy. The restrooms are in back, past the kitchen. I imagine when the restaurant is packed, that hallway is busy!!

    Artisan chicken berry salad

    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of Rustic Thistle. We had just finished an Antelope Canyon tour and found this place nearby. We were craving something healthy and were delighted by their fresh and delicious salads. Everything was perfectly cooked and so fresh! Our service was also fantastic and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. 100% recommend this restaurant.

    CS is excellent, Chelsey B our Server was fantastic, very informative, very attentive and extremely nice and personable. Had the House Old Fashion-It was Superb, Prickly Pear Tini was okay, a little strong for my wife. Meatloaf was okay, Crab Boil was excellent Ambience is very nice and establishment was super clean and bright inside.

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday around 1pm with a group of six. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait, even though there were plenty of tables open. After about 30 minutes they asked if we'd want to squeeze into a booth... The booths are huge so we had no problem fitting, but it was annoying we had to wait all that time for nothing. Once we got seated, the experience improved. Our server was helpful and quick, and our food ended up coming out pretty quickly. One note: if you want breakfast, make sure to get here early. They were no longer offering breakfast by the time we sat, and I think the waitress mentioned they stop serving it at 11. I really wanted breakfast, but ended up getting the grilled chicken plate with rice and veggies. The chicken portion was large, and pretty flavorful, although a bit overcooked. The rice was delicious, but the vegetables were horrible and lacked seasoning. Overall a decent option, but not a place I'd return to.

    Oxtail Skillet & Cajun Chicken Benny
    Ashley W.

    Ok WOW!!! Phoenix residents visiting the beautiful page and we didn't expect to have one of the best breakfasts ever! Husband and I had breakfast here on Friday morning, greeted and seated right away! The service was kind and very quick! Additionally the location is very clean and cozy. We ate the Oxtail Skillet, Cajun Fried Chicken Benny and a side of cheesy grits. WOOOOW!!! I'm not even the biggest fan of oxtail but it was so savory, juicy, and tender - we were both blown away! The fried chicken was flavorful and tender, but the buttermilk biscuit is the hero here! Everything came together so nicely! Why aren't we eating this version of Benedict more often?! We both can't get over that flaky and delicious biscuit. The grits were a little bland, not our preference, but glad we tried it. We also had to vanilla lattes, also fast, yummy, and hit the spot. Don't sleep on Rustic Thistle - so good!!!

    Mahi mahi with couscous salad (special of the day),  butternut squash soup, beet salad, pork belly buns, and a drink called the phoenix.
    Ani B.

    Very clean establishment with sweet workers. I was in the mood for soup and salad when I found this gem of a spot. I ordered the mahi mahi with couscous salad (special of the day) and butternut squash soup. My fiancé ordered the beet salad, pork belly buns, chili with fry bread (not included in picture, but the bread was the same size as the plate) and a drink called the phoenix. Total was $102 for everything with the drink being $15-16. Everything is made in house, only complaint was the pork belly sauce being a little salty.

    Ham and egg omelette
    Nicho S.

    Overall we had a good breakfast here. I had the ham and egg omelette with garlic potatoes and a cup of coffee. Food was good, low key location and the people working were very friendly.

    Chili with fry bread
    Alison L.

    Casual diner. The chili with the flatbread was amazing. The chili was so flavorful, and the fry bread was incredible to dip in it. Skip everything else. The Navajo tacos are just the fry bread with their chili, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and a little cheese on top. I prefer just dipping the fry bread into the chili because the bread will stay crispy. The oxtail flatbread was nothing special. Sadly, the gumbo was really unappetizing, as the rue was extremely thick and flavorless.

    Brisket hash. 4/5 meat was a bit fattier than we prefer & we thought it'd be cut into the hash

As for service, our server was very to-the-point, not quite friendly but not rude. It was okay for me because I was ready to be done for the day, but most of our party didn't feel welcomed by our server's attitude and we're all generally easy going. We paid our bill with cash, when our server came back with the receipt he dropped it with us and left with the change. I try to make a point of tipping generously, at least 20% but I'm not really okay with someone helping themselves to a 40% tip. He came back after a few minutes of us sitting there (wondering if he forget or really took off with our change) and gave us our change- we still left 20% for him because maybe it was just a forgetful moment... All in all, good food and drink, service could use some polishing.

    I took a short weekend trip to Page and we only had time for one meal. While Page isn't a huge…read moretown, a couple of spots were in contention. We decided on Gone West Family Restaurant based on their solid reviews and we thought that American food (especially with a Western theme) would be the way to go. When in Rome! We stopped by on a Saturday evening for dinner. Parking is easy in the complimentary lot they share with several other businesses including a Chinese restaurant right next door. Ambiance (4.5/5): Pretty much what I was hoping for. Gone West is a spacious restaurant with one large dining room and another large dining room. The difference? The one in the back has a stage where they play live music. So, if you want a quieter atmosphere, choose the first room. If you want to enjoy some live music while you dine and drink, choose the back room. We sat in the back room. A band played various covers while we were there which we enjoyed. The decor is also awesome with a lot of Western and country decor including John Wayne, Johnny Cash, and more. Service (4/5): The hostess was super nice and accommodating which was a nice way to kick off the experience. Our waiter was pretty solid. He could have stopped by a little more frequently, but overall, did quite well. Drinks (4/5): I went with an Arnold Palmer (they only had pink lemonade unfortunately) so not a lot to right home about. With that being said, they have a decent beer list and several cocktails. Food (5/5): I went with the Chicken fried steak sandwich with spiral fries. CFS on a sandwich?! I couldn't say no. Country fried steak is one of my favorite Southern dishes, but I've never had it on a sandwich before. Check out their concept: breaded steak on a bed of mashed potatoes topped with green onions, gravy, and a fried egg with your choice of side. This was a great sammie! It was quite messy, but given how delicious it was, I didn't mind. The fries were delicious too, and it was a generous portion. The type of portion where you can easily have leftovers. Everything I was hoping for and more in this dining experience. While the food options in Page aren't vast (and as impressive as larger cities), Gone West should be at the top of your list!

That's basically what happened here, except instead of chocolate and peanut butter, it was an art gallery and a gastropub. Somehow it works. The vibe here is funky in mostly the right ways. The decor has a yard sale chic aesthetic that's somehow carefully curated without looking like it tried too hard. The staff had just enough piercings and tattoos for me know they would love to talk to me about their record collections if I asked, and the whole place manages to feel both laid back and just upscale enough that you can justify ordering anything from a burger to what looked like a pretty respectable ribeye. I went with the Shroom, a portobello mushroom burger, and it was enjoyable. Tons of flavor, perfectly satisfying, and paired with one of the crispest side salads I've had in a while. Bonus points for the edamame. I will happily eat edamame in just about anything. Not with jello though. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, although we collectively demonstrated the adventurous spirit of a group that mostly ordered the Pub burger. So I can't claim we've fully explored the menu yet. This just gives me an excuse to come back. Service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The only moment that caught me a little off guard was when the owner stopped by to let us know he had baseball cards for sale in one part of the restaurant, along with an upstairs gallery featuring local artwork. I felt like he might next open his coat to show me some watches. He's just down for the hustle I guess. The art ranged from "that's pretty nice" to "someone really, really loves painting Utah's red rocks." Most of it was priced well beyond what I was looking to take home, but honestly, I have to respect that they're giving local artists a place to showcase their work. So maybe I'm just being a little grumpy. Get off my lawn. By the way I'd be happy to eat here again

It was an experience for sure! Just not the best. The menu on the website lists a number of steak options. None of these were on the menu we were presented.

My other dinner was one of their specials - the Southwest burger with a side of onion rings and veggie soup. This was fantastic!! The burger was flawless and tasty (not too spicy) and the onion rings were positively massive and delicious as well. The veggie soup was a bit spicy but still flavorful and hit the spot.

They have some traditional indoor seating as well as a patio that has garage style doors that they can open for an al fresco dining option. Decor gives off 70s diner vibes and they have really cool Grand Canyon/Colorado River paintings on the walls. All the staff were attentive and helpful - even with our large rowdy group the night before our rafting trip!
